The staff were absolutely amazing. From the moment they greeted us until the minute we drove off. They made us feel like we were the most important people there.

Vnakhoul Australia

Excellent location as we were attending an event at the Star. The room had everything we needed with a comfortable bed, and delicious room service options. I hurt my foot during the stay :( but staff were very helpful, bringing ice packs to our room and offering a medic visit.

Susan Australia

From the start of our stay until the very end, had exceeded my expectations. Though it wasn’t a long walk from the carpark to the hotel, they have made our experience so much more by helping us take our baggages to our room. Everything was clean, service was exceptional. Love it and will definitely be coming back.

Karen Australia

Our room was lovely. When we opened the door we did not expect it to be so big with a separate living room. The bathroom and walk in wardrobe was just lovely. My partner and I made sure we used the spa/

Danielle Australia

Friendly staff. Newspaper delivered to room. Very clean room.

Al Australia

Staff were terrific and Helena on the front desk was exceptional

Peter Australia

the location of the hotel is ideal to enjoy Sydney Darling Harbour & Barangaroo precinct unless the casino is of interest to you. The room size is larger than normal double room and with good quality inclusions. Staff are most helpful and aim to make your stay comfortable. A good night sleep depend on how comfy was the bed - height, size, doona and firmness of the mattress all very good but the pillows were too soft - offer no support at all.

David Australia

The room's were amazingly comfortable and clean . Also the hotel stuff were so kind and very welcoming .

Ozijime Australia

The facilities are beautiful, staff fantastic! The young man who checked us in is exceptionally good, welcoming and professional
